Protein crystal growth in the advanced protein crystallization facility on the LMS mission: a comparison of Sulfolobus solfataricus alcohol dehydrogenase crystals grown on the ground and in microgravity

Crystallization

Organism

crystals are grown in the Advanced Protein Crystallization Facility during the Life and Microgravity Sciences Spacelab mission on the US Space Shuttle. Large diffracting crystals are obtained by dialysis, whereas only poor-quality crystals are obtained by vapour diffusion. The quality of both the microgravity and ground-based crystals is analysed by X-ray diffraction. There is some improvement in terms of size and diffraction resolution limit for the microgravity crystals. The twinning observed in the Earthgrown crystals is also present for those grown in microgravity
